Appendix B. Latin 1 Character Repertoire and Keycodes

Table B-1 lists the characters in the Latin 1 character repertoire, the primary character set supported by Flash. The first column (labeled "Dec"), gives each character's code point in decimal (the standard ASCII value), the second column provides the Unicode escape sequence for the character, and the third column describes the character itself. See Chapter 4, "Primitive Datatypes", for more information on character encoding in Flash.

For supplementary reading on the topic of character encoding, see the following resources:
